Awillman13 had asked me " I have a 1111-4 with a silver label and a neck block stamped 7588. I seem to remember there was a conflict of when they stopped the neck stamp and started the serial number sticker with the arrival of the oval label."

Note: Model 1111-4 with Serial 7588 would be in the run from 1968. The next batch ran in 1970 which is when I believe the location of the serial numbers.

What do y'all think?

Location: Texas		If the general thought is that neck stamping ceased with oval stickers, then the exception could be due to an overabundance of necks that were stamped with a serial during the label transition.
Just like some winged bridges getting on 2nd Gen guitars. Waste not, ... well, you know.

Location: Upper Left USA		Yes, transitions and inventory played a big part.
Was the factory moved between the 1968 and 1970 batches?

The bible claims that it happened in February of 67.
